I have a situation that i have been mulling over and interested in opinions.
Next week I take my kids away for vacation, my W wants our car for the week and is playing difficult with the travel forms. My original plan was to take the car and park it at the airport for the kids and me, W wants to drive us and pick us up.
My pros and cons, so far, if W drives us are as follows:
Pros: save some money by not having to park the car for the week. Potentially have some time with W were I can listen to whatever she has to say, maybe even validate some of her reasons if they come up. Will make the path smoother to get the travel forms and suitcases (as she took them all when she left) Do I need to give a little to get a little?
Cons: have to be in car with W while she is potentially still angry with nowhere to go. Could be confusing for the kids. Am I letting her get her own way and being a doormat.
I'm sure there are others.
My gut feeling is to take it myself even if she gets mad or angry. Am open to 2x4's, if my 'nice guy' traits are coming through again.
